C34 Year-end Drinking

Thinking of this, Wang Lih's eyes burned with anger.

"Thinking about the matter of Little Junior Brother going to Dovetoxin Forest. His junior apprentice-brother's will was so firm, and he even understood how dangerous it was for him to do everything he could to go there. I think the reason is not that simple. It's not just because of the abbot's orders, right? " "Haha." Liang Ming laughed. Is there some other reason? "

Wang Lih's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

This matter had indeed been suspected!

"Let Senior Brother guess, is it a treasure passed down through the generations of Shaolin Temple? Hide in the Dovetoxin Forest? Or … "Little Junior Brother has no choice but to complete the dying request?" Liang Ming asked.

"Senior Brother, you're overthinking it. The task was only entrusted to you by Master Fang." Wang Lih cupped his hands and smiled. At this moment, Wang Lih's heart was already in a state of panic. He thought about the matter with the abbot and still tried his best to defend himself. He had kept some secrets to avoid a disaster. In order to travel safely in the martial arts world in the future.

This was called being cautious.

"Alright."

Liang Ming smiled and looked forward.

"Shall we go back to Tianyu Yuan?"

Wang Lih nodded and the two walked back side by side.

Over the next few days, the Senior Brothers each prepared their own items. Only Second Senior Brother stayed behind and often trained with him, often gave him pointers on his weaknesses in Fist Arts, preparation for battle, and actual combat. Wang Lih also realized that Second Senior Brother was indeed Master Ximen's eldest son. It was difficult for him to use the Fist Arts. Moreover, Second Senior Brother was the most adept at using the long spear. It was unknown how much more accomplished he was in terms of the long spear.

Very quickly, many days passed.

Deep in the night at the Luo Family of the capital.

In the rear garden of Luo Family, Wang Lih had often trained here.

"Phew – Phew –"

Qin Xiao was dressed in white, his eyes were fierce and his gaze was fierce. At this moment, Qin Xiao was sitting in the courtyard, breathing heavily and looking very tired. Both of his hands were wearing Wrist Blade s, but there seemed to be many cracks on the tip of the blade.

Family Head of Luo Family, who was dressed in light clothing, came over and was surprised by Qin Xiao's appearance.

"What's the matter with you?"

Qin Xiao turned his fiendish gaze over —

"I wanted to leave the city, but I didn't expect him to keep an eye on me!"

"As expected of someone from the Sunpierce List. "One strike, just one strike, has already disrupted my aura until now …" Qin Xiao's eyes were bloodshot and there was no dust on his face, but he looked extremely battered and exhausted.

"What are you doing out of town?" Family Head of Luo Family questioned, "Didn't Wang Lih already …"

"That's my business!" Qin Xiao shouted, "Cough! "Cough..." But it seemed as if his body was having a difficult time even moving.

At this moment, Qin Xiao looked at Family Head of Luo Family and said, "I can only entrust this matter to those people! Contact them as soon as possible. No matter how much gold and silver you pay, I want their permission within two days! He had to be fast! Cough! "Cough …"

Family Head of Luo Family seemed to dislike it and nodded in agreement.

"I'll write a message for Eagle. It can be delivered tomorrow morning." Family Head of Luo Family shook his head, "I've never seen a guard who was so cruel to his master..." Then he turned and left.

Qin Xiao looked at Family Head of Luo Family's back and remained silent.

"This is really... "It's a very important matter..."

… ….

Not long after, on the 23rd, Senior Brother Liang Ming left.

Seven days later, in the entire Youlin Sect, along with the sound of the huge bell that resounded throughout the entire sect, the Youlin Sect welcomed a new year. That night, Ximen Tianyu's subordinate, Wu Jundi, together with his Master and six others were gathered together. They were having dinner in the Liu Steel Pavilion and were chatting about recent events.

Although those who practiced martial arts with a clear mind would have less big fish, big meat, and popular food. Furthermore, Wang Lih, who was used to living a life of cultivation, was even more unable to adapt to meat and wine. However, the father and son of the Ximen family loved to drink wine. Out of the four jugs of wine that the six of them had drunk, these two father and son had taken care of three.

Second senior brother was completely drunk and had already gone back to his room to rest. Among the remaining five people, except for the Sixth Brother Wang Biao, whose cheeks were slightly flushed and who didn't even touch a drop of wine, his Master, Third Brother Mu Bu, and Fourth Brother Tan Jian were not intoxicated at all.

Wang Lih looked at his Master, who was addicted to alcohol, and could not help but shake his head and sneer.

"Ah... It was a new year! In the blink of an eye, this is already my first … "How many years has it been?" Ximen Tianyu replied to the bell, but he didn't remember what he wanted to say.

"Master doesn't even remember how many years he has been in the sect." Tan Jian smiled.

"I still remember, this is the eighth year I joined the Youlin Sect." Mu Bu laughed and said, "I joined the Youlin Sect the year Ren Ziloong caused chaos in the world, but I can easily remember this year. Today was the eighth year of the reign of Ling Yun and Bai Yi! Eight years … "Now that I think about it, I'm also in my twenties."

"Eight years?" Wang Lih mumbled to himself.

"Yes, eight years." Mu Bu held his small wine cup and smiled, "Sixth Junior Brother, is there anything you want to say?"

"So you're saying that there are still two more years before the next Martial Arts Competition?" Wang Lih asked.

"Three years, to be exact." Mu Bu explained with a smile, "If the year Ren Ziloong got first place was the first year, it is only the eighth year now. The next Martial Arts Competition will be held in the eleventh year, so there are still three years according to the time taken. "

"Three years …" Wang Lih nodded and said in a low voice, "Master said that I was seventeen at the time, just the right age to participate in the Martial Arts Competition. I wonder what my results will be when I participate in the Martial Arts Competition … "

However, Ximen Tianyu laughed loudly, "Hahaha, what's there to be concerned about! Whether it's high or low, we still have to see when to use it, and it will all depend on our true kung fu! "

Wang Lih nodded in agreement.

"Burp!" Ximen Tianyu burped, "Uh …" Speaking of the Martial Arts Competition, I do remember. Ever since he ascended the throne, every martial arts conference has happened to be held in his year of office. He had been on the throne for quite a long time … It's been him since I was born. "

"This generation's disciple?" Is there still a dark shadow on the throne? " Wang Lih could not help but question, "Didn't they say that Ren Ziloong changed the Blacky Palace's Dragon Tavern to expel the Blacky Palace from the palace walls?"

"After Ren Ziloong caused such a ruckus, there was no longer any sign of him succeeding the throne. Of course, Master was referring to the black shadow before he was expelled." Mu Bu immediately explained, "This generation, which had been black for forty years, was infuriated in the palace after Ren Ziloong made a ruckus in the forty-first year! The one who was chased out of the palace wall by Ren Ziloong was his eldest son and his eldest grandson. Since then, their whereabouts had always been unknown, and this news was spread out by the Dragon Tavern. "

"Wah …" Forty years. " Wang Lih wasn't surprised about anything else, but he was surprised how long this had been going on.

"This generation's Hei Yi received his position from his eighty-year-old grandfather at the age of seventeen. He is the youngest successor in the history of Hei Yi. He passed away after forty years." Mu Bu continued to explain, "The Dragon Tavern was spread, saying that his eldest son and eldest grandson were expelled from the palace. But there were also rumors saying that Ren Ziloong, who had always killed challengers, had long since annihilated the entire Hei Yi Family sect! However, this claim is unreliable. The descendants of Hei Yi Family have spread across the entire continent in the millions, so even if Ren Ziloong is the number one person in the world, how can he be wiped clean … "

Wang Lih couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he said that. After all, he had personally experienced such a thing before.

Furthermore, what kind of status did the Hei Yi Family have? If Ren Ziloong dared to kill them, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Wang Lih did not agree with Ren Ziloong saying that he had killed Hei Yi Family.

"But it's nothing. Since Black Yi's reputation has already been destroyed, the entire empire is governed by Sword Forest Sect, Dragon Tavern and our sect. Then whether this black cloud is alive or dead, existing or disappearing, it has nothing to do with us civilians! " Mu Bu sighed and drank another cup of liquor on the table.

"That's right. The empires want to fight to the death, but in the end …" Ximen Tianyu looked out the window, "That depends on your ability..."

Wang Lih couldn't help but be speechless as he listened to his Senior Brother and Master's sighs. He himself was lost in thought.

Strength is everything in this empire?

"Sixth Junior Brother."

"Sixth Junior Brother, what are you thinking about?" His two senior brothers called out to him in unison. Only then did he wake up from his deep thoughts.

"No …." "Nothing." Wang Lih shook his head and waved his hand.

He once again thought of that night when they destroyed the temple. The white-haired man's terrifying fist strike had flattened the mountainside. It was a punch that could support the incredible strength that Daoist Master Chang had displayed after saving him on the mountain wall. It also made Wang Lih understand how strong the strong can be in this big world.

With his current strength, which could not even handle the one hundred Jin stone rod, when would he be able to take revenge?

Besides, the world was so vast, how could he find the white-haired man?

"Don't think too much into it, practice martial arts properly!" "Here, another cup!" Ximen Tianyu said as he picked up his cup and clinked it with Third Senior Brother's. The two of them drank and seemed to be comforted by the warmth of the strong wine.

Now it was Wang Lih who looked out of the window and didn't know what to say.

"Sixth Junior Brother, Senior Brother Rong asked. If your Dovetoxin Forest is a success, you can deliver the items that were entrusted to you by Master Fang. Have you ever thought about. "What are you going to do?" Third Senior Brother Mu Bu asked, "Are we returning back to Shaolin Temple to report?"

This question made Wang Lih really speechless. Indeed, he had not thought about what he should do next.

Perhaps there were some arrangements in the second letter, but he had to first deliver the letter to Ancestor Master Hui to know what was arranged in the letter and what was told to Ancestor Master Hui.

Then, should he listen to the arrangements of his abbot regarding the future?

Or … What did he want to do?

But he had never thought about what it was that he really wanted to do.

"Didn't Master say that I would be allowed to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament three years from now?" Wang Lih hurriedly smiled.

"There are still three years left, still a long time! In three years, your strength will increase by a lot. " His Master whispered as she replied, "Don't tell me you've never thought about what you're going to do in the future?"

Wang Lih scratched his head, "Didn't I just need to train in the Youlin Sect to prepare for the Martial Arts Conference?"

"How laughable."

His Master just shook her head.

"A few days ago …" What about the spirit of martial arts that comes from being in high spirits? "

"This …" Wang Lih looked at his Master and the two Senior Brothers, but was speechless.

"Could it be that Master wants to …" Wang Lih thought of some possibilities.

"That's right!" Ximen Tianyu immediately stood up, "I, Ximen Tianyu's disciple, will definitely not stay in the sect to train! The martial arts world is so vast, if we do not go out and experience life and death, how can we grow?! "

"I have decided! If Dovetoxin Forest is successful, after we leave, we will use seven people to lead the group and walk the road of chivalry and righteousness, plundering the rich and the poor! "Blindly talking about the futility of martial arts spirit. The right way is to do what you are doing!"
